AIR-ANT2506 problem

i have AIR-ANT2506 installed on ap's for outside and it seems as though i am loosing signal strentgh on them when i investigate the ant is filling up with water due to the lip that is on them. is there a model better suited for my needs.

that is probably why they collected water, antennas are designed to be installed with the cable exiting the bottom. there is no drain hole when they are mounted inverted.
when used indoors you would mount them inverted but outdoors right side up.

    Q. I have an IPAD air having problems with my email deleting after a short while without command.

    I've had issues like this before.
    I ended up having to call my provide to reset the connection, which worked for a while, then quit. i then took it into my provider for a new sim card and had the connection re-established again. I haven't had issues since.
    hopefully for you resetting the connection with your provider will do the trick and a new SIM card wont be nessesary.

  • Cisco AIR-ANT2506 Compatibility

    Hi,
    I need an omni antenna with the specifications of AIR-ANT2506 for a Lighweight AP 1242 for outdoor installation. The AP is compatible with the antenna, but the description of the antenna says that it is a 2.4 GHz Bridge Antenna. Does this mean that it is not suitable or even unusable for ordinary Lighweight implementation, but only for Bridge installations. I should cover an area around the entrance of a store...
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

    I am trying to get internet into a number of properties on an estate. I am not sure of the best solution as we are also quite remote / rural, hence why we have a satellite internet set up and not using internet through a telephone exchange as we are too far away from it.
    I am looking for the cheapest solution, and am happy to have the properties hard wired laying ethernet cable to each property, but if I can achieve internet in each property with wireless then that is probably a better solution.
    I have attached a birds eye view diagram of the properties, showing where the current satellite modem is located, and where the antenna is mounted (It is about 1 metre above the roof line, but on each property the roofing is corrugated iron)
    I have line of site with the antenna to at least 3 of the properties (Crag house, Sams, The Bothy and probably The Barn & maybe just about Oak)
    I therefore need internet access internally in these properties. I do, as a separate project and if possible, a property 1.2miles across a loch that we have line of site with that if possible we would like internet to be broadcast across there, but the first port is to get the properties on the estate hooked up with wireless.
    If you have any suggestions of what Access Points would work, they do not have to be whizzbang because we only have broadband speed currently of 512k, upscalable to 3MB.
    I also do not understand how being able to run 50-100ft coax cable from the antenna to the AP works, when I was told that for every 10ft of cable, you lose about 2dBi from the antenna, is this true??
    I have just attached a photo of 2 antennas on the corner of the white building (1 is the AIR-ANT2506, the other taller one is an itellite 12dBi antenna which I haven't yet tried)
    You can see the white building to the left that needs to be wireless, the building in the middle of the picture, and the 2 just to the right of this building. There is a further one behind the grass you see in the middle of the picture, and a final property that isn't in the picture, but if you look at the excel spreadsheet you should be able to work out the buildings)

  • Someone else's Notes appearing on my iPhone. I'm using version 5.0.1. I assume there is some type of over-the-air sync problem happening?

    Someone else's Notes appearing on my iPhone. I'm using version 5.0.1. I assume there is some type of over-the-air sync problem happening?

    Doing a restore will more than likely resolve the problem. Plug the phone into iTunes, select your phone under DEVICES, and press Restore. This will restore your phone to factory settings. Now, after the restore is complete, you have two options:
    1) Restore from Backup
    This will let you restore all of the content you had on your phone but may also restore the other person's notes and their ability to sync notes to your phone.
    2) Set Up as New iPhone
    Your data will not be restored, but you can always sync content back later as long as it is in iTunes. On the positive side, this would positively remove any setting that would allow someone else's notes to appear on your phone.
    You will be presented with these two options after the restore. I recommend restoring from a backup first so you won't lose your data, but if it doesn't solve the problem, proceed to restore as a new phone.

  • Air Disk Problems: either miniStack v2.5 or Western Digital's 1.0TB Green?

    Anyone still having Air Disk problems with either the miniStack 2.5 or the WD10EADS?
    Using it as a Air Disk/hub with AEBSn (firmware 7.4.2) connecting to MBP1.83 running 10.4.10. It worked fine in this configuration for almost 2 months. The drive does not appear in finder or disk utility even when connected directly through USB or Firewire, so I'm sending the ministack back to OWC. I was just checking here to make sure that it wasn't something on Apple's end before I head to the local UPS store.

    Sorry, I'm using 10.4.11

  • Antenna mounting question - AIR-ANT2506

    I was told by a wifi tech that the "pipe bomb" antenna [air-ant2506] should be installed upside down when installing inside a building, ie warehouse.
    When I go to the hardware installation page for the antenna, Cisco makes no statement regarding this....they clearly show the antenna with the metal end at the bottom, not top.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/antenna/installation/guide/ant2506.html
    Ultimately does it really matter which end is up if you are mounting inside? Just as long as it's vertical correct?

    You are right.... as long as they are verticle you should not have any issues. The reason why they might ask you to face it downward is due to code in some area's..... code sometimes states that there will not be any objects facing upward.... just in case someone falls. So it is more of a safety aspect.

  • Cisco AIR-ANT2506

    Hi everybody
    I have a question about  installing a wireless solution with the AIR-ANT2506 connected to the acces point 1242AG-A-K9 (LWAPP) and the goal is register the ap to the controller 2504.
    This antenna is supported by the controller?
    Thanks.

    In general, the WLC does not care what type of antenna you use with the AP, so long as they can connect.  The
    AIR-ANT2506, is a RP-TNC connector which works on the 1242.
    Keep in mind, that under the AP Radio config for 2.4, you'll want to specify the dBi values for the antenna, so that RRM can be calculated correctly.
    HTH,
    Steve
    Please remember to rate helpful posts or to mark the question as answered so that it can be found later.

  • AIR-ANT2506 ... Can it be mounted up-side-down?

    Hi,
    Just wondering if I'd lose any signal strength if I was to mount the AIR-ANT2506 in the up-side-down position.
    The reason I want to do this is that currently we have an AIR-ANT2506 mounted to the side of an outdoor enclosure, where it sits raised above the enclosure. But I feel that the enclosure is mounted a bit too high, so I thought about mounting the antenna in the 'hanging' position from the enclosure to lower the position of the antenna.
    Can the AIR-ANT2506 be mounted in this way without any consequence?

    Hi David,
    The 2506 can be mounted in an inverted position but you do run the risk of it filling up with water if exposed to moisture;

  • AIR-ANT2506 External Antenna Coverage Range

    I've got an AIR-ANT2506 external antenna mounted on the side of a metal building.  Hand-held Teklogix scanners connect to the AP and scan material outside.  What kind of coverage range can I expect from the AP?  Also, what's the recommended height for the AP to be mounted?

    I've got an AIR-ANT2506 external antenna mounted on the side of a metal building.
    Oh nuts.  This is not gonna sound good. 
    The ANT2506 is a 2.4Ghz omni-directional antenna.  If you point the antenna to your face, for instance, the signal is a near perfect circle, however, pair this with "the side of a metal building" and you've just literally turned an omni-directional antenna to a directional antenna.
    Also, what's the recommended height for the AP to be mounted?
    Maximum height is 10 feet.  Make sure your antenna has clear line-of-sight.  Any metalic or concrete obstruction can disperse the wireless signal.

  • AIR-ANT2506

    Hi,
    I have installed an access-point 1242 and for arise signal I have installed also antenna AIR-ANT2506 instead of AIR-ANT4941.
    Have to I modify some parameter on configuration ?
    best regards
    Lorezo

    Hi Lorenzo,
    You probably want to set the Left or Right Primary (I'm not on site right now so I can't see or remember) and take the setting out of Diversity;
    Use the antenna configuration interface command to configure the radio receive or transmit antenna settings. Use the no form of this command to reset the receive antenna to defaults.
    [no] antenna {receive | transmit} {diversity | left | right}
    Syntax Description
    receive
    Specifies the antenna that the access uses to receive radio signals
    transmit
    Specifies the antenna that the access uses to transmit radio signals
    diversity
    Specifies the antenna with the best signal
    left
    Specifies the left antenna
    right
    Specifies the right antenna
    Defaults
    The default antenna configuration is diversity
    Examples
    This example shows how to specify the right receive antenna option:
    AP(config-if)# antenna receive right
    This example shows how to set the receive antenna option to defaults:
    AP(config-if)# no antenna receive

  • IPad air reboot problem

    Are lots of people meet the new iPad air restart problem? I have met it several times since I bought it a week. Any solution can avoid it or should I go to  store to change a new one As this is a really annoying problem.

    While I am using a application like safari, the iPad just restarted. Probably it wasn't a really restart because it just took a seconds and the a white screen with an  in the middle came up just like usually turn on the iPad  and back to lock screen and any application I was using were closed after that.

  • My MacBook Air has problems connecting to a saved network when I first open it.

    My MacBook Air has problems connecting to a saved network when I first open it. When it idles, the connection gets lost and even clicking on the network won't connect it. Then I have to turn off wireless and turn it back on for it to connect. My boyfriend's MacBook Pro does not have this same problem and this problem started maybe 2 months ago and nothing about our internet or router has changed, and its only my computer having the problem. Its a 2013 MacBook Air and my softward is: OS X 10.9.1 (13B42). Please help!

    Hello, nheredia05. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    There are a couple steps that I could recommend trying.  Power cycle the router and test to see if the behavior persists.  Next, try an remove this prefered network from your list and then add it back again.  Make sure all firmware updates have been processed on the router side and the settings have been optimized for performance.  If the issue still persists try the steps in the second article.

  • Has your Macbook Air overheating problems been solved?

    Hi All,
    Has there been a solution to the Macbook Air overheating problem for you?
    I'm considering selling my MBA but want to see first if there has been any new updates on this issue.
    I have a Macbook Air with the specifications as follows:
    Model: MacBook Air 1.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Production year: 2008
    Production week: 15 (April)
    OS X Version 10.5.7
    Have had the computer for about a year now and it has been constantly overheating and becoming more or less unusable when doing so. Have been hoping upgrades to the software would solve this eventually but that does not seem to have happened.
    As I'm writing this room temperature is about 20 degrees celcius. Laptop sits on a table with power cable plugged in. Not running any external screen. There is no video streaming or music playing. Only the Firefox browser and a few more idle apps are active such as Mail and Skype (in the background). Even under these conditions the fan is currently running loud at 6100rpm and the Macbook Air is very hot underneath.
    CPU temperature is currently 54 degrees Celsius. Both cores seem to be active.
    Now, as an experiment I will head over to YouTube to watch a video and open up Microsoft Word in the background, a perfectly normal usage for a computer this new. This is what happens:
    The computer starts to become painfully slow. After for example clicking an item in the browser there is a 1-3 second delay before the click actually becomes effective. It's now so hot underneath that I would not want to keep it in my lap. It is hard to use the mouse pointer properly as it does not update in realtime, I have to assume where it will land based on my movements. When scrolling, the spinning wheel icon becomes active. Everything is now happening in slow motion.
    Video is lagging heavily. I can only see probably 1 out of every 10 frames or less of the video. All applications running are very slow. CPU temperature is now 64 degrees celsius. Fan is at 6200. Computer is now unusable for me. When I scroll a page in the browser it takes about 2-3 seconds before anything happens. Changing tabs takes 5-6 seconds after I click them. I will have to shut it down before re-starting and resuming work. When room temperature is even higher on a hot day needless to say everything gets a lot worse quicker.
    Is this normal for Macbook Air's? If that is the case they are more or less unusable for most types of normal 2009 year usage (video, audio, browsing, office work etc).
    What solutions have you found? Coolbook? Software/Firmware updates? Hardware changes? Please let me know if you have been able to make your MBA not overheat under normal usage.

    Hi Everybody,
    Thanks for your replies to start with.
    I have tried to install Coolbook now and has it running. When using 'throttling' and letting it change CPU speeds (I think..) the problem still remains. When watching a video or other demanding task the temperature goes way up. Running a CPUTest (small or big) gets CPU temperatures of up to 84-85 C. Fan of course at 6200rpm all the time.
    Right now, I have Coolbook set to 800Mhz and 0.9V. Apps running are Firefox, Skype, Mail and iTunes with no audio playing. CPU temperature at 56 c and fan speed (as usual) at 6200rpm. I can use the computer now. It is still lagging and not very fast at all. Sometimes text appear 1-2 seconds after I have written it on the keyboard.
    So Coolbook has made a difference for me, but only when putting the CPU speed down to 800MHz. I wouldn't call reducing the CPU speed to half a 'solution' though and will not keep that as a long term solution. Reducing voltages for higher CPU-speeds 0.9875V for 1600MHz does not work, it still heats up massively.
    Have used the MBA for the whole day today and can't recall a single time the fan has not been around 6200rpm except right after boot.
    Thanks for the tips on upgrading to 10.5.8. I will try that right away and let you know how it works out.
    Have also considered buying some cooling device but just as you say that feels like a bit of a last thing to resort to.
    I'm surprised Apple hasn't responded stronger to this. Had this happened in the car industry we would have seen thousands of cars being sent back to the garage to be fixed.
    If this only has to do with some specific production weeks then the right thing to do would be for Apple to let those people have their computers either fixed or replaced.
